How to file a Statement of Information under the NEW CA Online Filing System | LLC Corp SOI Tutorial
MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE LLC/CORP NAME TO YOUR OWN -- DON'T USE MY COMPANY NAME! People are mistakenly using this video to file a SOI for my company instead of their own, and I have to keep checking my accounts to change it back. So, make sure you change the business name to your own!!!
Every year (for a corporation) and every-other-year (for an LLC) you need to file a Statement of Information (SOI) in California. This filing updates the state on your business address and any other basic information that has changed (like the corporate officers). California just created a new online filing system in April 2022, which looks different and requires a login.
In this tutorial walkthrough, I show you how to use the CA Biz File Online to file your SOI.

Hello thank yiu for all the great info. I have a question that you may know the answer to. I recently formed a LLC for my Home Inspection business. Since California doesn't require a certificate ti be a home inspector, but i am going to get certified do i need a regular LLC or a professional LLC for my business. Thanks in advance.

Well you can try a virtual mailbox or even a co-working space to get an address -- they work for many things (but not everything, like for a seller's permit)
I APPRECIATE this video So So Much!... Thank you! Is it possible for you to do a "How to" video on forming my own LLC (S.corp taxed) Holding company (Single Member)? Like the step by step instructions on what to do... DIY approach if someone can't find the right fit with an attorney.

In California, there is currently a special law for licensed contractors so you don't have to follow the professional corporation rule, you can even have an LLC. Always good though to check with your licensing board, they should know the rules for your license
